Storytellers At Fannie Battle
A storytelling residency for 1st - 8th grade
A week of developing storytelling skills
The students at Fannie Battle Day Home were eager to pick their stories and get down to telling. They collaborated and inspired each other to make their stories their personal best. Groups learned how to function as an ensemble and gained skills in how to present information to an audience. All of this focused work resulted in a one hour performance in front of peers, teachers and parents!
Reading closely, choosing details and determining meanings | Learning to give and receive effective feedback and collaboration are valuable 21st century skills | Confident storytellers |
